    Actually, only 4.8% of the population of planet Earth speaks English natively. And that percentage is steadily falling. Mostly due to the rapid population increase of non-native English speakers.
    Esperanto is WAY EASIER to learn than English. I love Esperanto. It's helping me to learn German and Polish.

      "Actually, only 4.8% of the population of planet Earth speaks English natively."
      Um....where did that number come from?
      That is just over how many people live in the US.
      What about much of Europe where in many countries you are taught ESL since grade school and heard it spoken even before you are school age. Then you have Ireland and the UK which are clearly English speakers. Sweden....just try to speak broken Swede there and they will flip to English to make it easier for you. You will find that same thing in many countries around the EU.
      India has many millions of English speakers, and no a heavy accent doesn't mean someone isn't a fluent speaker.
      Australia, New Zealand, parts of Africa, Canada, all over Central and South America you have multi-language speakers some of which are fluent in English. Then you have the rest of Asia.

      Native language I loved listening to this. It Pretty well encapsulates why I learned Esperanto. To one of the comments above, the number actually currently stands at 6% native English speakers. A native speaker isn’t just another way to say that someone is fluent in a language. But rather, that the language was acquired as a child, before the age of 12. There is some debate on that age range depending on the linguistic paradigm you’re using.
      No one in the comments ever said that people do not learn fluent English as a second language. It is totally doable, people do it all the time, as the comment mentions.
      But aside from that, there’s a lot of beauty and learning another language, even when you don’t have to because other people in the world speak English too LOL! That’s really not the point anyone was trying to make.
      I personally wish I had studied Esperanto before trying to learn Spanish, I am absolutely certain it would’ve been much easier. Esperanto is a wonderful sandbox that you get to play with an experiment with, With a very regular rules… At the same time it can get very complex and it allows learners to figure out what it’s actually like to learn a language. Testo different methodologies, encounter different psychological Roblox and how to work with them, you’ll learn a lot about yourself.
      If you’re already learning a language, keep it up! If you’ve considered learning a language but find it far too intimidating (but you still find it interesting) me maybe starting with Esperanto would be a good idea. Whatever you do, happy learning!

    I have loved Esperanto since I first found a description in a scouting book,for gaining the linguist's badge. The study of Esperanto is enduring,and I am constantly intrigued by the hidden shades of the grammar. Although the language itself can be quite quickly learned,that is only a first step into learning the complexities of the grammar and syntax. For me this has been a lifelong study. Esperanto is absolute genius!

    Esperanto IS NOT any kind of mix. Such statements just push people away from learning it, cause one starts to think that it's just a kinda klingon or elfish joke for nerds, where it's not! Esperanto is unique, solid, live and very expressive communication tool, potentially better than any other! Although most of its vocabulary was taken from Latin and some other languages, it totally differences from all of them and Latin itself. Its grammar structure is so elegant, logic and genius. Even if there weren't other Esperantists and tons of books, it would be worth to learn Esperanto only for its elegance itself.

    I actually would not describe Esperanto as multiculturalist. I'd describe it as more interculturalist. There is a subtle difference between these. Multiculturalism does not necessarily envision a common language: in that respect, it can lead to a tower of Babel and confict between cultures. Interculturalism does promote a common culture, even if only an auxiliary one, that everyone learns as a common second culture to allow the development of intercultural relations.
    We can even take Warsaw of Zamenhof's time as an example. He witnessed multiculturalism first hand, with four different language groups many of whom were not able to communicate with one another. This motivated him to create Esperanto to promote more just and fraternal relations between them. In other words, he created Esperanto so as to advance multiculturalism towards interculturalism.
    And just a point about Esperanto being an artificial language. Esperanto is an artificial language just as English is an artificial language. IN fact, the word artificial is redundant since by definition, a language, any language, is artificial. That said, we can perhaps distinguish along a spectrum of planning and say that, relatively speaking, Esperanto figures among the more planned languages and English among the more ad hoc ones with regards to the regularity of their respective orthographies, grammars, and lexicons.

    Esperanto rises and falls at various times through its history. Many people have suffered and died championing this incredible language,the Zamenhof family being almost wiped out by the Nazis,due to their promotion of world peace. But the language arises time and again,like the Phoenix from its ashes,bringing hope and belief for a united world. The unsettled situation today could well create a new interest in the language,with more people becoming involved in the possibilities inherent in Esperanto,and more likely,captivated by the sheer ingenuity of its construction. You never really finish learning Esperanto,because there are endless avenues you can explore,discovering new aspects in its grammatical construction,and the way subtle meanings can be made by a simple addition of a suffix. If you want a really interesting hobby which can be shared with people all over the world,and at minimal cost,then I recommend you try your hand at learning and mastering this extraordinary language. Bonan vojon!

    Another advantage of learning Esperanto for grade school children, this is especially true for English speaking children, is that it permits them to look at their own language objectively. English is so irregular in its spelling not to mention homonyms and homophones that it is very confusing to children who are native speakers. Esperanto being so regular and phonetic allow a child to look at their language with different eyes.

    IN 2O13 I COMPLETED A POSTAL CORRESPONDENCE COURSE OF TEN LESSONS IN ESPERANTO, OUT OF EL CERRITO , CALIFORNIA. MY TUTOR WAS ELLEN EDDY. I THOUGHT ABOUT TRYING TO START AN ESPERANTO GROUP HERE , IN OSCODA , MICHIGAN BUT I COULD NOT ACQUIRE A REALLY GOOD COMPREHENSIVE TWO WAY ENGLISH-- ESPERANTO DICTIONARY SO I FIGURED THAT OUR GROUP WOULD HAVE BEEN LIMITED JUST TOO MUCH WITHOUT ONE.

      Yeah, but there is the other conclusion that many people draw from the word 'articicial.' And that is 'unnatural.' If the language was set free and grown wildly through the democracy of kongresoj, the unnatural moniker is not fitting. Constructed language (conlang) has a much more exacting quality to its term.

    The problem is not language it is culture and the main problem we have today is that the powers that be are trying to wipe out all the old cultures under the name of multiculturalism which is anything but that. I love Esperanto as a language but it's goal of bringing the world together is just a dream. Humans will always be different from one another. Even when we speak the same language and even share similar cultures we will fight each other. It is human nature and always will be. That being said we should still learn Esperanto if for no other reason than to have a language that actually makes sense.

    Kvankam mi ne jam legis ĉi-tiun videon, mi ŝatus paroli, ke mi tre ĝojas pri lerni la Esperanton. Ĝi estas tre facila kaj komprenebla lingvo, kiu mi ŝatas uzi. Per ĉi-tiu mi renkontis plurajn homojn, kvankam nur interrete. Mi komunikas kun homoj de multaj fremdaj landoj, inkluzive rusio, ĉinio, kubo, kaj aliaj. Per ĉi-tiu lingvo mi povas komuniki kun homoj, kiuj ne tre bone parolas la anglan, sed nur anstataŭi parolas ion fremdan lingvon tiel la rusan aŭ ion.
    Ankoraŭ mi lernas kaj certe ne parolas nek rapide nek bonege. Sed ankoraŭ mi amas ĝin, jam instruas alia amiko pri ĝin, kaj vidas kiel rapide li lernas ĝin kaj ankaŭ kiel ĝojas al lin.
    Esperanto ankaŭ montras al mi kiel aliaj lingvoj estas vere facila fakte, ĉar iliaj estas nur iom da instruaĵoj aŭ reguloj ĵus la sama kiel io ajn alia lingvo aŭ sistemo. Sporto, ludo, rilato, laboro, tute havas regulojn kiujn kiu devas lerni kaj uzi sisteme se ili volas sukcese en tiu sistema medio.
    Tiel, mi eklernas plurajn aliajn lingvojn ankaŭ, tial la ĉinan, la hispanan, la francan, la italan, la latinan, la japanan, kaj eĉ ankaŭ la korean ktp. Sed kompreneble ne apenaŭ parolis ilin. Ankoraŭ, laŭ mi, mi nur povas lerni tiujn ĉar mi unue studas kaj lernas Esperanton. Kial? Ĉar tiu estas tre facila, pro ĝia logika kaj simpla aranĝo kaj simplaj reguloj iuj ajn povas lerni kun malpi da tempo.
    Lernu Esperanton por monda diskuto pri nia komuna estonteco kaj povos gajni mondan pacon kaj kunlaboron.

    For god's sake Learn it. Do yourself and especially your children and the coming generation a favor. So much money and time is being wasted all over the world because of not using Esperanto. So much great resources out there can not be used because of this. Many talented people out there don't have access to education in a language they understand. Many don't learn new languages (and they should) because of failure. Esperanto can fix qll of this qnd more. I'm Kurdish living in Iran in a half Azerbaijani city. I learned Azerbaijani and Persian of course. Then jumped to Arabic (not very successful) and then English. It took me two years and I wouldn't consider myself fluent. Do people all over the world a favor and learn it. I assure you it will be easy and fun

  • @shadbakht
    @shadbakht 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I agree with all her points except one minor issue. All the universal languages of their day, Greek, Latin, Arabic, French, and now English (and in the future Chinese?) will have their day in the light based on the economic success of that language's origin. They all have one thing in common, and that is that they're all rooted in an ethnic or cultural origin which isn't universal. Language is a very fundamental aspect of culture. So if a language is going to be universal it has to feel representative and rooted in, if not all, at least the majority of cultures. And that's the biggest issue with the adoption of Esperanto of the "Universal Language". It's a language created by one man, and completely based on the Latin and European language family; which Chinese, Africans, Arabs etc cannot relate to or identify with. Hence not truly universal language. She brought up the issue that there are only 10% native English speakers. Esperanto increases that percentage only incrementally. You could argue it's at least better, but not that it's anywhere near universal.

    • @DimitarBerberu
      @DimitarBerberu 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      The Chinese, Africans, Arabs, etc, have the same opportunity to embrace EO as their bridge language & contribute to the universal character. The other choice is currently English, which is in opposite direction (no excuse here). By construct, EO is already universal, as the grammar is flexible enough to be non-European. The words are already international, & anybody can contribute with any missing expressions.

    • @seanoriain3462
      @seanoriain3462 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      This is theoretically true, but it is false in practise. i have spoken Esperanto to hundreds of Chinese, Japanese and Arabs, and they speak the language fluently and effortlessly. It actually has a lot of non-Indo-European features, and a lot in common with Mandarin Chinese. You can find theses features if you look for them. Just Google "Claude Piron: articles".

    • @lvoldum
      @lvoldum 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      In addition - the whole point of Esperanto is to have a language with no "nationality" in order for communication to be on equal terms, ie, everybody being non-native speakers.

    • @PascalBlondiau
      @PascalBlondiau 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @Shahrooz, you are missing one crucial point. Esperanto is based on something universal : logic - same for all people. The aspect of Esperanto may seem european to you (and many) by the aspect of the words. But much, much more important, is what underlies, i.e. logic in grammar.

    • @ronaldonmg
      @ronaldonmg 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree that there never will be a language that is universal in the sense that all human thoughts and feelings can be expressed precisely in it. I also see it as a bit of problem that Esperantists - and especially the non-europeans - are too modest to introduce words for things that can't be expressed well yet, or too hesitant to use words that haven't been made official yet.

    one of the biggest problems of Esperanto today: there's too much content about it, and not enough content in Esperanto.
    Also, that old-school aesthethic used by the speakers in videos and books is not very inviting for the young genetarions... Instead of translating 19th century books, translate manga, series, animes, movies, (even p0rn, for god's sake!!) that people actually like nowadays! Record high quality gameplays, do streams and pop music.
    Otherwise Esperanto will never stop being that weird boomer thing only old people are interested about.
